Abstract: Choosing a good doctoral adviser is crucial for the success of your academic career. This chapter emphasizes the long-lasting impact of the adviser-student relationship beyond graduate studies. It provides guidance on finding an adviser within your current university or when applying to another institution. The importance of scholarly credentials, research alignment, and the adviser’s career stage is highlighted. Advisory practices, such as successful supervision, communication styles, and thesis project selection, are explored. Additionally, the availability of support, research resources, and career development opportunities are considered. The personal element of compatibility and the adviser’s level of interest in the student’s work are emphasized. The chapter concludes by suggesting ways to address issues that may arise in the adviser-student relationship. Proper selection of a good adviser ensures valuable guidance and support throughout the doctoral journey.
